New York, NY -- November 30, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- SeeThruEquity, a leading independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on small-cap and micro-cap public companies, today announced it has issued an update on PotNetwork Holding, Inc.
 
The report is available here: POTN November Update Note
 
PotNetwork Holding (OTC: POTN), through its subsidiary Diamond CBD Inc., focuses on research, development, and sale of premium hemp extracts that contain a broad range of cannabinoids and natural hemp derivatives. CBD is one of the more than 85 cannabinoids identified in marijuana and hemp plants and is non-psychoactive with wide array of therapeutic benefits. Hemp derived CBDs provides a legal alternative to marijuana based CBD (which is banned at federal level) and allows the consumer to enjoy CBD without the risk of getting high and breaking any federal laws. Hemp derived CBD market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~53% till 2020, positioning it as the fastest growing sub segment within the multi-billion-dollar legal cannabis and hemp market. Diamond CBD continues to report robust top line growth, as indicated by recent 3Q17 sales and continued momentum in October.  We see POTN as a speculative growth company focused on the burgeoning legal cannabis and hemp market targeting the fastest growing sub segment (hemp derived CBD).  Upcoming catalysts new product launches, aggressive marketing initiatives and entry into new markets (specifically China).
 
Highlights from the update include:
 
We are increasing our price target for POTN following encouraging results since our initiation of coverage.  POTN results have included robust top line growth, as well as a reduction in shares outstanding.  The company now appears to be tracking ahead of our initial results, with significant sales momentum in a structural growth market.
 
Highlights of recent developments at POTN include:
 

  • On November 2, 2017, POTN pre-announced positive 3Q17 sales results with revenue of approximately $4.4mn, up 29% sequentially from $3.2mn in 2Q17.
